Pump Oil
Do not attempt any oil maintenance on this pump. The
pump is pre-lubricated and sealed from the factory,
requiring no additional maintenance for the life of the
pump.
Detergent Siphoning Check Ball
The check ball in detergent siphoning system may become
stuck from dried soap or minerals in water. The check ball
can be freed by performing the following:
WARNING! Chemical Burn Hazard. Chemicals
could cause burns resulting in death or serious
injury. Follow chemical manufacturer’s label
instructions for proper use and handling of the chemical.
Following Shut Down, remove detergent siphoning hose
from barbed tting on pump.
1. Insert paper clip, or similar device, into barbed tting
on pump and push down until ball moves.
2. Reinstall detergent siphoning hose.

sensation when squeezing the spray gun trigger.

Engine Maintenance
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain “no charge” emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
See the Emissions Warranty.
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certied oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classied for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity
for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity
for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on
most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W30
Synthetic oil. For equipment operated in hot temperatures,
Vanguard® 15W50 Synthetic oil provides the best
protection.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
